eLabFTW is a modern, open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that helps research teams store, organize, and manage experimental records and laboratory data from a central web interface. Designed for scientific environments, the software provides a secure, browser-accessible platform where users can log protocols, results, and observations in structured records that replace traditional paper notebooks. Beyond simple experiment journaling, eLabFTW includes an inventory database for tracking lab materials, reagents, and equipment, making it a versatile tool for laboratory management. It also supports collaboration across teams, enabling multiple users to access shared records and streamline project workflows. The software features advanced search, tagging, timestamping, and export tools, which are essential for reproducibility and long-term project tracking.
